Chapter 52: Uncle and Nephew
"Little uncle!" came the wind behind him, and then the weight was pressed down. Xun Yi was so frightened that he almost didn't fall into the river.
Stabilize yourself and turn your head to look back. On Xun Yi's back, there was a young man who was grinning and hugging his neck, and all the weight was on him.
Seeing that person, Xun Yi was almost angry: "You want to scare me to death!" The elbow hit the back hard, the young man dodged, and lay on Xun Yi with a smile and refused to leave: "Little uncle, the little nephew just came, and you are not welcome." ”
"Welcome, let's say goodbye!" Xun Yi shook a few times and failed to shake off the young man, the young man firmly lay on Xun Yi's back, and let Xun Yi slowly carry himself forward.
"I haven't seen my uncle for a few months, so it's hard to come back and let me stay a little longer!" the young man hummed a song, and his body, which was stronger than Xun Yi, pressed on Xun Yi's body.
"I haven't seen you for a few months, and you've weighed a lot. Your cousin is not in good health, go down quickly!" Xun Yi glared at the young man, and the young man saw that Xun Yi might be a little unwell, so he got off Xun Yi's back.
Walking in front of Xun Yi, he squatted down: "I'll carry you?"
Seeing that the young man's shoulders were wider than himself, the corners of Xun Yi's mouth twitched, and he slapped him on the back of the heart: "Forget it, walk with me honestly!"
"Yes, yes, yes. The young man walked next to Xun Yi and asked Xun Yi about his physical condition during this time.
He was followed by several servants, and the boy was hanging from a distance.
Sure enough, the most reassuring person in his family is still his uncle who grew up with him. Zhang Song saw the pair of uncles and nephews interacting, and thought silently in his heart.
Speaking of which, Li Xinghong is two months older than Xun Yi. One is a sheep's tail and the other is a monkey's head, but because they grew up together, the two have an extremely close relationship. And in terms of maturity, Li Xinghong, the little uncle, brought him up since he was a child.
Xun Yi: "It's okay if you're here, I just received a secret letter from your family, and you can bring it back when you go back." ”
Li Xinghong is the son of Ruijun Wangfu, and his great-grandmother is Xun Yi's aunt and grandmother, Xun Yu's eldest sister. The relationship between the two families has always been good, Li Xinghong has lived in the Xun family for several years, and Xun Yi's guardianship is still in the hands of his aunt and grandmother.
"Secret letter, what secret letter?" Li Xinghong stretched out his hand to touch the secret letter on Xun Yi's body.
Xun Yi slapped it fiercely: "Let's talk about it when I go home." "There are a lot of people here, can you look at things like secret letters?
Seeing the people who followed Li Xinghong and the big bags they carried, Xun Yi said: "These things you brought should also be put at home." ”
"Wait a minute, uncle, do you know how to get to Qiu Lan's gambling house? ”
"Qiu Lan Gambling Village, what are you doing there?"
"Smash the field!" Li Xinghong raised his chin: "A few days ago, the person I sent to Qiu Lan Gambling House to smash the field was sent away by a scholar. Today, this son is going to find the field in person!"
"Scholar?" Xun Yi vaguely thought of something, and asked tentatively: "For no reason, why did you send someone to Qiu Lan Gambling Village? Your uncle and I still have some face over there, if it is not a big deal, I can go back and help you wipe it." ”
"It's nothing, it's just that these people in the rivers and lakes are idle and have nothing to do to spy on my whereabouts. So I asked two masters to pick up their plaques, but was stopped by a teenager. I heard that he is not very old, so he must not have any ability. I'll just teach you a lesson. Li Xinghong was eager to try, and he was ready to do a big job.
"Two masters, one tall and one short?" Xun Yi paused and turned his head.
"Yes, a big fat man and a short man, they owed me a favor at the beginning, but it didn't work out, and I still need to run it myself-ouch!"
Xun Yi suddenly took the wooden sword and slapped him hard.
"Lesson, do you still want to teach your uncle and me?" followed by another sword, and this sword gathered his mana and unleashed the sword intent of the withered plum and the shadow.
Li Xinghong's face changed slightly, his body twisted, there was an extra purple dragon in his palm, and he grabbed the wooden sword in his palm with both hands.
"It's so dangerous, why did my uncle suddenly get so angry?" Seeing Xun Yi's gloomy face, Li Xinghong stepped forward to rub his shoulders and beat his back, and respectfully hung the sword on Xun Yi's waist: "Uncle, I'm just going to teach a scholar, to put it bluntly, it's still for you?
"No need, your uncle and I won't go against me. Xun Yi rolled his eyes: "Qiu Lan Gambling Village and I are old acquaintances, and I helped them repel two people who smashed the field two days ago." Why, you bought all those pens from Wenqu Temple?"
"That's right. Li Xinghong looked like a local tyrant, and said magnificently: "Uncle is about to Enke, it is inevitable that others will use this kind of blessing pen to make trouble for uncle, and I have bought the blessing pen of Wenqu Temple during this time!"
"Wait, that person was my uncle some time ago?" Li Xinghong scratched his hair: "So, it's a waste of my favor." ”
Xun Yi opened his mouth and breathed a long sigh of relief, who would have thought that the things that he and others were tracking down were by his side?
"So, do you know a person named Wen Xiangjun?"
"Wen Xiangjun, who is that?"
"If you don't know, forget it. Xun Yi pondered in his heart, so to speak, this guy went to buy a pen, and the incident with the evil god pen was a complete coincidence?
Xun Yi didn't have to go to the mansion, and Li Xinghong didn't have to go to Qiu Lan's gambling house, so the two returned to Xun's small building together.
As soon as she entered the door, Li Lan ran over with Dabai in her arms and said with a smile: "Young Master, what are you eating today?"
"Gold and silver elbows, eight steamed crab roe, spicy hoof tendons, duck crispy orchid root, boiled Ming Ao ......" A large number of dish names were reported.
Hearing this familiar voice, Li Lan suddenly raised her head: "His Royal Highness?"
I saw a lazy creature hanging on Xun Yi's body, and he refused to leave like a koala.
"Yo, Xiao Lan'er hasn't seen you for a long time!"
"His Royal Highness the Prince is actually back?" Li Lan secretly complained in her heart, she had just left the eldest lady, why did this Highness come again?
Moreover, this is much more difficult to serve than Xun Tan.
"This Shizi just went home today, and I won't bully you, eight meats, eight vegetables, eight candied fruits and eight snacks, and I'm ready to turn around. Oops-" The stomach was hit hard by Xun Yi's elbow again: "Don't bully Li Lan every day, what time are these dishes ready?"
Then he said to Li Lan, "You can prepare four dishes casually." Go back and help this kid clean up the room. ”
Xun's small building is not big, but Xun Tan and Li Xinghong are both frequent visitors here, and there are special rooms.
"Don't worry, Miss Lan can cook slowly, and I'll live with my uncle when I go back!"
Li Lan rolled her eyes, she was accustomed to Li Xinghong's style, she didn't listen to his nonsense at all, and went down to prepare the meal.
Xun Yi and Li Xinghong entered the house, and Xun Yi handed him the secret letter on Liu Xun's body: "Your family's right?"
Seeing the familiar fire seal above, Li Xinghong opened it in front of Xun Yi, and a subordinate next to him wanted to speak, but was stopped by Zhang Song, shook his head, and took him out to prepare tea.
"Butler, why don't you let me stop you. This is a secret letter from our house. ”
"The young master of the Xun family is one of the most trusted relatives of the prince, and he is very consistent with our Ruijun Palace, even if he is allowed to see it, it doesn't matter. ”
Xun Yi saw Li Xinghong reading the letter and asked, "What's the matter?"
"No, it's fine, it's just that the north side is unstable again. Li Xinghong handed him the letter: "It seems that there are still some people who are operating in secret. ”
Xun Yi took it and looked at it, frowning: "Gu Zhao Secret Collection?"
"That's right, the royal treasure left by Gu Zhao back then. Hehe, does anyone really believe it?"
"Gu Zhao perished because of another continent, and he did not lose his morality, and he did not consume national strength because of the sneak attack. There are many things in Gu Zhao that have not been inherited by the previous dynasty. It's normal to leave a few secret vaults, but the key is that no one knows how to open them. Xun Yi said: "At the beginning, Emperor Tianzu and Emperor Gaozu also explored the traces of secret hiding, but in the end they found nothing. ”
"So, let them toss. Li Xinghong sealed the secret letter and ordered someone to send it to his home overnight.
"By the way, Liu Xun, what are you going to do?"
"He had an accident on duty, so he was naturally a hero. When Li Xinghong was thinking, his expression was focused, which was completely different from the original prodigal appearance.
"Tomorrow, I will help him collect the corpse, and his family will help support him in the Ruijun Palace. ”
Li Xinghong had a plan in his heart, looked at Xun Yi's expression, and diverted the topic: "By the way, my little aunt asked me to bring you something." Li Xinghong has been following Xun Yi's ass since he was a child, and he knows Xun Yi's character too well. Knowing that he avoided death, he didn't say much about this kind of funeral, and turned to talk about Yingxiu.
"My aunt asked me to give this to you. So, he sent the longan branch that Yingxiu returned.
Seeing the three longans and a magpie above, Xun Yi said: "Lianzhong Sanyuan? This girl can afford me." ”
The two had the same mind, Xun Yi held the flower pot and dug out a bag from the soil.
When I opened it, this was the daily life that Ying Xiu said, and the time of delivering the letter was mentioned later: "No, according to what Ying Xiu said, you should have arrived a few days ago, why did you come to me now?"
"Oh, I went to Guangyao Mountain for two days two days ago. There's a fun game over there, so I'll take my uncle with me. ”
Xun Yi seemed to have heard it somewhere, but Li Lan took Daiping to serve the food, interrupting Xun Yi's train of thought.
The two sat in the master's seat and talked slowly about the situation during this time.
Several subordinates who followed Li Xinghong were surprised: According to the caution of their own son, why didn't they test the poison in advance when eating here?
So, I was ready to go forward and test. Li Lan glared at him, hugged the dish and said coldly: "If Your Highness doesn't want to eat, go back and stay where it is cool!"
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, Miss Lan, don't be angry. The newcomer doesn't know the rules. Zhang Song hurriedly came, accompanied by a smiling face, and took a few subordinates away, leaving time for Xun Yi and Li Xinghong.
When he went out, Zhang Song scolded his subordinates, and one of them complained: "Butler, didn't the prince test poison every day when he was in the house?
"Hmph! There are two young masters in the family, and they are eyeing each other, and the situation is naturally different. But in the Xun family, the son of the Xun family is the uncle of the prince, will he still harm him?" Li Xinghong was poisoned by his stepmother when he was fourteen years old and almost died, but Xun Yi personally tested the poison to save him. In Li Xinghong's heart, this cousin is not an ordinary cousin. Li Xinghong stays in Xun's house for a few months every year, more than Xun Tan.
Zhang Song said meaningfully: "You are late, and there are some things that you see more and do less." Remember, on the Xun family's side, don't offend Young Master Yi and Miss Tan. ”
